The WPC 2019 will offer continuing education through an American provider, with reciprocity for non-American participants. Details on the various educational credits and application will be posted on the WPC website as we get closer to the Congress.

The certificate of attendance is not the same as receiving continuing education credits. Be sure that you sign up to receive continuing education credits while registering.

Certificates for continuing education credits will be emailed to delegates after the congress. If you are using a travel agency to book your registration for the congress, be sure that they include your email address on the registration form. This avoids the confusion of having the certificate being sent to the travel agency.

Target Audience The target audience of the 5th World Parkinson Congress included medical doctors, researchers, postdoctoral fellows, nurses, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, students, care partners and people with Parkinson's. Delegates should have an interest in current research on Parkinson's, new care models and treatments for Parkinson's and want to understand best care practices of Parkinson's disease.

Overall Learning Objectives The overall Congress objective is to provide an international forum for dialogue on the latest scientific discoveries, medical practices and caregiver initiatives related to Parkinson’s disease (PD). By bringing physicians, neuroscientists, broad range of other health professionals, care partners, and people with Parkinson’s (PwPs) together, we hope to expedite the discovery of a cure, cultivate better treatment practices for those living with PD, and to show the health professionals in attendance that they can learn more about Parkinson's disease by cross-pollinating with experts outside of their daily world.
